[edit] Points

I asked the following question at the Wikipedia:Reference desk:

Can someone explain what it means for an actor or director to have points for a project? I know that it factors in to how much many they can make, but I'd like to know the specifics.

Posted at the Reference Desk, copied here
"Unless I recall badly, if, say, Tom Hanks has "5 points" on his next film Forrest Gump II: Armageddon, it means that he will receive, in addition to whatever salary is paid, 5% of the film's profits. Points are usually held by major producers, directors, and lead actors (occasionally actresses, although I fear they have been neglected too often in the past). Obviously, points are of widely variable value -- whoever had points for Waterworld was sorely diappointed, whereas one presumes it would have been wise for Elijah Wood to forgo his entire salary for the LOTR in exchange for a single point on the profits. Someone else should give a more detailed explanation, however. Jwrosenzweig 16:45, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)"

[edit] Trigrams

My question: Hi, I'm creating a logo for my Taekwondo club, and I was wondering if there was any specific configuration that I should use for arranging the eight I Ching trigrams. Currently, I have them corresponding to the 4 trigrams in the corners of the South Korean flag plus the other four trigrams in the north, south, east, and west. So, starting from top left corner and proceeding clockwise: ☰ keon, ☴ seon, ☵ gam, ☳ jin, ☶ gan, ☷ gon, ☲ ri, ☱ tae. For comparison. imagine this image rotated such that 'heaven' is where 'lake' is.

(My knowledge of I Ching is minimal, so this suggestion is probably inappropriate.) Aesthetically, how about a Gray code arrangement, like ☰ ☴ ☶ ☲ ☳ ☷ ☵ ☱ ? At each step, precisely one line changes, and the sequence is cyclic. I suppose this does lose the property that opposite symbols have related meanings (heaven/earth, fire/water, etc.). --AlexG 14:55, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Creating Articles w/ Categories

Good work creating new articles. When you create things, it helps tremendously to assign them to an accurate category (see WP:CG for info). If you're really not sure about categories, at least assign your new articles a stub category (see WP:SC for info). By assigning a category, you help make sure your new articles don't get lost as 'orphans' that are not associated with related topics. Feco

[edit] Asian fetish POV problems

I've responded at the talk page. I decided I should probably make it a different heading since I had quite a lot to say. Do you think the POV dispute is bad enough to justify filing a request for comment on this article? --Idont Havaname 23:43, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

  • While it's obvious that the other editors are taking a rather absurd amount of interest in my personal life, I don't really think an RfC is necessary *yet*. I think that we should maybe wait a little bit longer, see if the discussion moves back to the subject matter in the article, and then decide. At least the personal attacks seem to be dying down, and we're starting to have good, civil discussion (so far). I get the impression that the editor who was going nuts with the personal attacks hasn't been posting there since a couple of days ago; of course, it's hard to tell with anons, due to ISPs like AOL that change your IP address every other minute. (Or maybe that user saw my listing of the article at Third Opinion and Vandalism in Progress). So let's wait and see, figure out if it's going to resolve itself, and if things stay heated over there, ask for some other users to provide their opinion. --Idont Havaname 19:56, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RfC for Asian fetish

Thanks for telling me. You can list it at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Society and law if you want to, but please only do that if things are especially bad there. I'll look at the talk page some more when I get back. (I'm currently out of town, but I'll be back by Thursday.) --Idont Havaname 20:39, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Getting administrator attention

I saw your note re: CSD tags being removed on WP:HD. FYI: If you need to get administrator attention in a hurry, you can always post at WP:AN/I. pfctdayelise 13:57, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:DSC00918-220 px.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DSC00918-220 px.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:05, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:DSC00918-220 px.jpg

Hi. When you uploaded Image:DSC00918-220 px.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with {{GFDL-presumed}} and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually {{GFDL-self}} or {{PD-self}}. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Wikipedia:Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 08:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
